Sugar From Sorghum.


IT. il now 30 wears since sorghum |
was intIoGdced into the United
States from China by way of Paris.
At first extravagaut expectations
were entertained in regard to oar
future sugar supply from this
source. Repeated analyses OF the
Juice from ripe cane demonstrated
the presence of crystalizable sugar
in such quantity as wonld make II
a renumerative crop, but IN the DO
mestic process used for obtaining
this, the sugar almost entirely dis
appeared and only glucose re-
NAMED in the form of an uncrys
tallizable syrup. For several years
past but little effort has been made
to improve the manufacture OF sor-
ghum except to free the syrup from
an unpleasant taste which it inner
it's from the parent plant. In this
line q good degree of success has
been obtained. Chemists under
stood that in the process OF obtain.
ing the Juice by crushing the cane,
she true sugar in the presence OF
au acid became reverted into sub
startialIy the form Of glucose,
10 escape this unfavoraoio &C
ton Pros Wiley, chemist OF the de
partment of agriculture, proposed
to obtain the sugar by the diffusion
process, which bad been successful
" used in obtaining the sugar from
beets. But the application OF the
process to cane was new and new
machinery must be invented both
for preparing the cane and for ap-
plying the process, Two or three
seasons we're spent in experiment IN
this line with only partial success
EVERYTHING was new, and as Is o.
ten the case, plausible theories
failed in the test of actual expert
ment But the lesson Of failure is
frequently as voluable as 8 success,
and in the light of such lessons, the
machinery was improved and the
processes modified at the govern
ment sugar house at Fort Scott in
Kansas.
With the opening of the season
Commissioner Coleman, OF the de-
partment of agriculture, who was
present at Fort Scott, reports the
new process a triumph and sorghum
sugar success. The cane in Kan
sas Yields from 10 to 10 tons per
acre and the product is from 100 to
lis pounds of good merchantsbie
sugsr from each ton Of cane, or an
average of about 1900 pounds OF
sugar per acre.
The application of the new pro
cess in the manufacture of sugar
from sorghum verifes a prediction
which we made 90 years ago, that
sugar could he profitably made from
sorghum only in large manufacto-
ries and by the aid of expensive
machinery and skilled workmen.
But the discovery of obtaining su-
gar from cane by the diffusion pro
cess has its chief value in its appli-
cation to the manufacture of sugar
from the tropical cane. By the
crushing process the best mills we
can make leave about 80 per cent
of the sugar in the bagasse, while
bhe chips from he new process con
tain Glly three or four per cent. A
gain OF % percent in the sugar
crop is worth looking sfter.-lndia
